Arpino's Suite Saint-Saens
Video extra from the documentary Joffrey: Mavericks of American Dance now on DVD http://store.joffreymovie.com/
Gerald Arpino's unique style mixes classical ballet with contemporary energy and line. Expressing the pure joy of movement, dancers fly backwards through the air and dance in ever changing patterns -- sometimes abstract, sometimes forming relationships.
